3.9.3 Removing Recurrence
To remove the recurrence of a project/task, use the Actions->Set
Recurrence command, use the “
Set Recurrence”toolbar button, or use the
“
Recurrence”toolbar button in the Project/Task’
s information form.
Once the dialog is displayed, click on the Remove Recurrence button.
This removes the recurrence from the item.
3.9.4 Skipping a Recurrence
In some cases, you may want to skip a recurrence instance instead of
completing the current item. You can do this using the Actions->Skip
Recurrence command.
This command advances the date values on the current item and its children
just as if you had completed it, but it does not actually create a new instance
of the item or its children.
Note: When skipping a recurrence instance, the completed child items of the
item skipping the recurrence will not be “
uncompleted”like they
are when a new instance is generated.
3.9.5 Recurrence Item Lead Times
The “
Lead Time”field for projects and tasks controls how the “
Target Start
Date”field is initialized for newly created recurring instances.
You can set the “
Lead Time” field using the Project Information Form
(General Tab), or the Task Information Form (Schedule Tab). You can also
use the “
Active Task Recurrence”or “
Active Project Recurrence”views in the
Tasks tab and Projects tab respectively.
If the lead time is set to any value other than none and the recurring
project/task also has a deadline, the target start date is initialized to “
lead
time”days before the new deadline value in the recurring instance.
For example, if the lead time is set to 5 days, the new task instance will have
a deadline set to follow the recurrence pattern, and a target start date set to
5 days before the new deadline value.
Note: Lead times are also used as part of Lead Time based scheduling for
non-recurring projects & tasks. See section 7 for details.
